: My wife and I are considering the Saab 9-3 Convertible (about $41K), the Volvo C70 Convertible (about $43K), and the BMW 323Ci Convertible (about $40K) - We live in Minnesota and would value any input regarding how the BMW 3 series handle winter driving. We would appreciate ANY objective input as the Volvo and Saab are front-wheel drive and generally regarded as extremely safe cars while the BMW is rear-wheel and not as highly regarded for their safety. I look forward to commentary.

If you equip the bimmer with snowtires and traction control you should be fine. I've owned Saabs and although fun to drive I'd stay away. The service I've recieved has been abissmal. Don't know much about Volvo but I'd lay good money that you'll have more fun 9months out of the year in the bimmer. You can drive slow 3months out of the year right?
